12. Video Visitation Policy

57.

When you schedule a video visit through Telmate, the video kiosk is reserved for that period of time and may not be used by any other inmate/detainee at the facility.

58.

If you are unable to attend the visit as originally reserved, please log into your Telmate account and cancel your scheduled visit reservation. Provided you cancel as required below, you will be credited with time that can be used to book a new visit.

59.

In order to qualify for a credit of the cost for scheduling the visit, you must notify Telmate, and Telmate must receive the notice of your cancellation, at least 24 hours in advance so another visitor may book that time slot.

60.

NO SHOW – Visits that are not cancelled at least 24 hours in advance, or that did not take place because the visitor or the inmate either did not attend or attended late, will not be credited.

61.

If your visit is cancelled by the correctional facility staff more than 24 hours in advance, you will receive credit for a future visit reservation. If it is cancelled less than 24 hours prior to your scheduled visit you may be eligible for a credit, but you will need to contact our 24-hour support staff at 866-516-0115 within 2 hours of your schedule visit to verify eligibility and request a credit.

62.

If the facility staff canceled the visit due to inappropriate behavior or other rules violation, it will not qualify for a credit.

63.

Time lost in any visit that ended early due to system failure or other technical difficulty will be credited for use toward a future visit.

64.

If your visit is cancelled because the inmate has been moved for reasons other than those in rule 6 above, and no station is available at the scheduled time, you will get credit toward a future visit.

65.

Any visitation credits remaining when an inmate is released will automatically be converted to prepaid phone time and subject to Telmate’s prepaid refund policy as noted in Section 14.

13. Subscription Fees and Service Charges

66.

Fees. Use of the Services may require the user to pay fees for access. These fees may include monthly subscription fees and/or usage-based fees charged at a “per minute” or “per usage” type of rate. Additional taxes and fees may be assessed for certain actions (such as balance transfers). The fees charged (with the exception of the monthly subscription fees) may be changed at any time based on a variety of factors; however, the current rate will always be made available to you by Telmate in the user interface for any Service. Monthly subscription fees may be changed with thirty (30) days advanced notice to you (by email or posting within the Service) or upon any new or renewed subscription term. Where you purchase Services on a subscription basis, you acknowledge and agree that this is a recurring payment and payments shall be made to Telmate until the subscription for that Service is terminated by you or by Telmate as described herein.

67.

Payment Process. Users of Telmate’s Services may maintain a balance of funds in their account. When a user accesses a Service that requires a fee, the fees will be withdrawn from the stored account balance. For example, if you reserve a “Remote Visitation”, the party making such reservation needs to pay for that Service. Upon confirmation of the reservation, we will deduct the price of the visitation from that individual’s account balance. The monthly subscription fee will also be withdrawn from the stored account balance.

68.

Fund Replenishment. If you wish to use a function that requires payment (e.g., reserving a kiosk for “Remote Visitation”) and have insufficient funds in your account, you will not be able to access that function until you deposit additional funds. These funds can be added in the following ways:

Credit Card Payment. A user is allowed to connect up to two credit cards to his Telmate account. These credit cards can be used to automatically refill the balance of an account that has fallen below the five ($5) dollar minimum. If the account is below this minimum, the user's primary credit card will automatically be debited twenty-five ($25) dollars, which is instantly deposited into the user's stored account balance. If billing to the primary credit card fails, Telmate will attempt to debit the secondary credit card, if one is on file. If that charge fails, Telmate may email the user, if an email is on file, requesting the user to edit the account’s credit card details. By providing credit card detail or using this payment method, you understand and approve Telmate’s collection, retention (in encrypted format) and use of your credit card data as necessary herein.

69.

Suspension of Pay Services. If a user allows his account balance to drop to one cent or below, the user's account will be suspended, and he will be unable to access any fee-based features within Telmate Services. Once the user makes a deposit, or associates a valid credit card against which the automatic charge works, so long as the account and other information remain readily available to Telmate, his account access and all stored data will be restored.

70.

Liability. Any charges (fees) incurred through this Service shall be the sole responsibility of the person who has deposited the cash or been issued the credit card(s) that is associated with the user account. At this time, a Telmate fee may not be paid in any other form than through cash or credit card. At no time during or after a transaction will any fee charged by Telmate be refunded to a person, agency, or department.

71.

Account History. You can view a history of charges against your account in the "Account History" section of your profile. If there are any questions about our billing or refund policy please contact customerservice@telmate.com.

14. Refunds

72.

Subscription Refunds. The monthly subscription fee, once assessed, is not refundable. If your account is deactivated, new monthly subscription charges will cease within five (5) business days thereafter. However, fees that have already been paid or charged (or any portion thereof) will not be refunded.

73.

Service Fee Refunds. Service fees, once assessed, are non-refundable under any crcumstance. If the Service ends up not being performed due to activity by the facility in which you are incarcerated unrelated to your own actions orbehavior (e.g., power outage, temporary rules change), the facility may, at its discretion, issue you a credit for the Service, such that the same Service may be used at a later time.

74.

Balance Refunds. If you close your account with a balance remaining, you may request a refund of such unused balance. You may select from the following refund delivery options: (a) balance transfer to a separate account associated with a connected, verified destination phone number, less taxes and fees; or (b) balance issued to a prepaid calling card, less taxes and fees, useable for calling anywhere in the USA. If the balance exceeds $50.00 it may be refunded via the original purchase method (credit card deposits to the same credit card, cash deposits will be refunded by check; there is a $10.00 fee for any issued check).

75.

Errors. If you believe that Telmate has charged you for any Service in error, you must contact Telmate within ninety (90) days of such charge. No refunds will be given for any charges which are more than ninety (90) days old. This refund policy does not affect your statutory rights.

Termination by Telmate is in addition to all other legal or equitable remedies available to Telmate.

79.

Access. Nothing in this Section shall affect Telmate’s rights regarding provision of Services under Section 4.6 of the Terms. Once your account is deactivated or suspended, you will be unable to use or access any fee-based Services, including as applicable sending or receiving messages, scheduling or reserving remote visitations, viewing or posting Content or otherwise accessing the Services. Your account information, links and Content may be retained but, except as provided above, will not be visible to other users.

80.
